Highlights
The safety of the patient and its importance in a surgical setting is well recognised
Orthopaedic surgeons are affected by several well-known low back pain risk factors such as heavy manual work; twisting and bending; standing in forward-bent and twisted postures; and poor ergonomic/lifting conditions
Various studies found higher rates of subjective physical injuries in orthopedic surgeons, with the most commonly injured areas reported as the back, neck, shoulders, arms, and hands
Summary
The safety of the patient and its importance in a surgical setting is well recognised. In the literature far less emphasis is placed upon the safety of the surgeon and his/her team [1]. Orthopedic surgery requires surgeons to spend many hours per week in body positions that are known to contribute to musculoskeletal injuries and pain [2].
